Drunks!!

This really has nothing to do w/the kids, but it's very interesting!

Last night at about 2am I wake up to a THUMP, THUMP.... SCREAH! I looked out the bedroom window and didn't really see anything, our cars were fine, and I hear hubby get up and go to the window to so I didn't worry much(he was still up, I swear the boy lives on 4hrs sleep, unlike me that needs at lest 8hrs.) Back to sleep I went, about 1 min later I heard THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, CRASH! This time I jump out of bed and rush to the window and a truck smashed into our neighbors tree, at this point I see some guy look at the truck and start running down the street. Hubby opens the front door as he's dialing 911. I know I'm not going to fall back asleep anytime soon so I get my shoes on and head outside too. The fire department was the first on the scene, which isn't surprising, since they are only a few blocks away. After that the local police came at one point there was 6 cop cars at the scene. Hubby was the only one that got a really good look at the guy, so he told the cops, what he was wearing including a black shirt. They did find the guy, and the guy was wearing a red shirt so they asked hubby if he was sure and he said yes.

Before I continue I'm going to go back and tell you what happened from the beginning.The guy got a flat tire which made him lose control of his truck, doing a 360 into the driveway across the street missing their car by about 2 ft. The guy got out of the car ran to the middle of the street, not sure if he saw hubby looking out the window or another neighbor who was watching him from his front door, but he got back into the truck tried to speed off w/a flat tire which made him fish tail and lose control again sending him across the road into the tree, which if he would have hit even 6 inches over he would have bounced off the tree and hit their car. The guy then ran off to his house where he wake up his roommates, who thought he was in a fight cuz he had blood all over him, and asked him what happened, he told them he hit 2 things. Then first told them he was alone then told them a girl was with him so they got worried, cuz of all the blood which who wouldn't be. The guy changes his shirt(hence the red shirt) and runs out the door, and the cops get him after that.

During all this the FHP finally come(which was less then 30 mins and I had to wait 2hrs when I had mine, but that's a whole other story). They got a statement from hubby and the other neighbor, who saw it all from his front door. They then took the guy and walked him from one cop car to another, one so hubby could see him and two cuz that cop was going back on patrol. At this point the roommates had gotten up and were trying to find the guy and make sure he was ok and this girl. They talked to us for a while to see what happened and ask about the girl. One of the roommates ask a cop if they can get the guys mom's number from him and the cop was like weren't you driving. The guy had told the cop that his roommate was driving, the roommate didn't like that so much, he was like I don't think so. So the other roommate got to talk to the guy(w/a cop) and I guess he told him to call him a lawyer, and he couldn't talk about what happened.

If you haven't figured out the guy had to be drunk, on drugs or both. I'm sure they are going to call hubby to a trial since the guy keep trying to blame someone else, though I hope not! So that was our fun and excitement this morning of course once we went back in the house they still had to wait for the tow truck, so the lights were flashing for at lest 45 mins more which made it a little hard to fall asleep and stay asleep.
